One way to pass MOT with lights issues is to remove them. 🤓👌

Where did you get the front caliper replacement from? I've really struggled getting one for most recent MOT

I love your Videos! I have the same model (same color auswell) and your videos motivated me to take the engine out aswell (headgasket etc leaking) engine coming back in in a few weeks we will c how it works out :) - love from Germany

Love the return of the Davenport-session!

Yay the sofa and Sophie are back. No tea but the wine is a fine substitute. With Misty as they say fifth time lucky for the MOT? Well something like that. How do we come patrons?

It is great to see you two back on the sofa! Sorry to hear about the MOT. But hopefully she will be on the road soon!

the pivot point is NOT the point where you attach the socket. the pivot point is that little circle few cm towards the handle. if you move the weighs around the handle, you are actually "changing the torque setting". every torque wrench has a marking which shows where you should ideally apply the force in regards to the pivot point so that the torque to the socket is correct.

I've had a sh*te week. This video made me smile. So, thank you! Here's to Misty passing next time.

Keep up the good work, and great to see you both back on screen together!

I’m going to comment again to show support. Looking forward to you getting it road legal!

hot tip, the Goodridge hoses do fit and have the bracket. 10 brake pumps with fluid, then 10 handbrake pulls. should adjust the piston. there is adjustment under the car, under the plastics directly under the gearstick. next time, just stick the breaker bar between the wheel studs so it wedges into the ground. then you can use the torque wrench on the hub nut.

Great to see another video so soon. Comment for engagement. Put some bubbly on ice for the successful MOT and driving time! Welcome back to the channel, Sophie!

I just love your impenetrable Britishness. This has been one of my favourite car build series of all time.

I liked that bit in the video when you did that thing. It was cool 👍

Lol the end

NOOOOOOOOOO!

Fancy for us is absolutely a thing in my household as well :)

I can’t wait for the MOT Success video!

Watched from early on while doing my own mR2 build thank you for sharing all the content !

And great to see Sophie's smile again!

Shade tree alignment tip, especially handy for people who have many miles to drive to the alignment shop. If you only do one side and your steering wheel was straight before. Get it close by eye, bring your wrenches, drive it, look at the steering wheel position. If it's off, stop, adjust tie rod a half-turn. Drive again, see if wheel is worse or better. Repeat till it's straight again, put the final "click" on the locknut. This doesn't work at all if you do both sides at once, but if you only do one, you'll be pretty close. Also doesn't cover caster/camber if you messed with anything other than the tie rods.

I would love access to a private race course in Mexico!

Thank you sharing this project with all of us. Been here since the very beginning and am hopeful that next time we see you we will be going along on a drive through the countryside.

Of all the things to get a shout out... California. They have enough damn it 😂😂

First comment! Engaging for engagement! the double wine glass got me at the end! 😂

mine one just stoped working wouldn’t go up but the left one does …… any idea what could be the problem

Wow Misty is nearly back on the road. That has been a bit of a long journey to get there but it would be good to see you all doing a road trip in her. So once Misty is legally back on the road and all repaired; what’s next? P.s. the silly algorithms will not keep me away. This is my fav channel and I always look forward to the next video.

Mr2 gearbox can works an a 3s engine

Can the mr2 gear box work and 3s engine

You fitted a stock exhaust? The full system is no longer available from Suzuki, and were over £2,100 when they last were available. Did you really fit a second hand 26 year old exhaust system? You are just asking for it to snap. New old stock would work, but I doubt there are any left. One of the first things I did on mine when I got it, also R reg, was throw the factory exhaust away. It looked like a blind six year old had used it to fail to lean how to mig weld on. A good aftermarket stainless system is under £400. (i went Black Widow.) My front brake light switch was also dodgy, genuine new, too cheap to even consider trying to bring back to life. Ditto the rear switch. Recon all 3 calipers. All partially seized. Stainless steel pistons, new seals, repaint. Professional seat recover. Remove rear mudguard and discard, replace with second-hand one not chopped up and mutilated. I like the original look, not the chopped up look. Replace all brake hoses. They were stainless braided, and going rusty. Not that stainless really. Return to factory 3 hose front layout with a splitter. Bespoke stainless chain guard, the factory one was warped, and looked like an old dog chew-toy. Replace failed carb-heater plugs, harness and sensor. Strip, ultrasonic clean, and rebuild carbs with new gaskets. discard all the factory “made from toffee’ Phillips screws, use stainless Allen headed ones. Strip the carb mounting brackets in rust remover/acid. re-plate. New genuine: throttle cables, clutch cable, clutch worm drive thingy. Remove a load of rusty bolts/nuts. Stainless. Powder coat the wheels, pillion handles and top/bottom yolks in black, to match the rest of the bike. New fuel tap, genuine, it did not shut off.

I just bought a 98 for $150 USD. I've had a 1200 turbo and I missed it so much after selling I've been looking for one ever since. Can't wait to get her road worthy

I felt that "If it's not fighting me every step of the way, it isn't even a project car". Glad to see you have buttoned her up, ready for the road! Can't wait to hear she passed her test!

Do you fancy working on a really car like a four wheel drive Audi?

So once Misty has MOT does the channel name change to engines and finished business?

Liked! And I do genuinely like what you do, so I hope you keep at it!

Had my MR2 for 25yrs in Germany now, my Nephew 4 yrs in Barnstaple, I know u r at Mullicott X. Fancy meeting in August? I have a holiday home down the road from you in Woolacombe. There as said in August 2024, would be cool 2 meet. I used to sell the GKS Gear Knob Starter, Gear Knob.

Having been here since the very beginning, and having a project car that is nowhere near as finished as yours, I feel both a sense of inadequacy and homely coziness watching. Love your content <3

I need to get my MR2 back on the road. It's a 1991 car. Owned it since 1994 but it needs some welding. I've bought a couple of new sills for it. I also have a radiator leak.

Putting this comment in to fight the algorithm. Love an MR2 and it's been a pleasure watching this over the years. I've gives me hope I'll get my 98' Honda Civic fully finished one day! All the best!

Can't ever skip over EaUB!
